Is amazing. And it’s just that simple. What makes the perfect party? Obviously alcohol, but add to that your own private room in a swanky KTV club in downtown Puxi with leather couches and marble counters, throw in your favorite unlimited music and mikes to amplify the worst peoples voices with the biggest egos, and then French fries (gotta have French fries at my birthday), all your favorite people in Shanghai, and then let me just dance in the middle of all this wonderful chaos and BAM. Best Birthday Ever. Of course, the taxi ride back from this all wasn’t the best one I’ve had in my life…..won’t go into details here…but I was just doing my part to fit the 21 year old stereotype, and I think I successfully fulfilled my role. Highlights of my birthday: Having my darling friend Caleb ( a once real professional singer) sing Bob Marley to me, coming home to a beautiful cake bought by my roommates ( mmm, coffee icing), Having over 2 thousand people sing me Happy Birthday at the Pavilion ( so I brought up that it was my birthday a few times…..), A Chinese boy giving me a stuffed panda bear for my birthday ( and selfish little children trying to steal it from me when I wasn’t looking- Oh I put an end to that), all the beautiful emails from my dear friends back home that made me wish more than ever they were here with me, is this the longest sentence you’ve ever seen because it is rather long but so was my birthday because I took into account the time difference and celebrated my birthday for not 24 hours but 36. The. End.
Of course, don’t let all the fun I had distract you, dear friends, from the fact that I’m expecting you all to take me out when I come back home- for my first legal drink in the states. Aight?

Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI too had American food on my 21st birthday in Shanghai :)
Must be a trend!
Happy Birthday a bit late dear! I'm going to write you a long email soon. I tried to write on your facebook wall, but facebook wouldn't let me and claimed we aren't friends, then when i tried to add you as a friend it said we already were, so, i don't know what the deal with that is. But anyway, yeah, happy birthday!
